Digital Dost aims to document unorganized sector migrants specifically in urban areas working across manufacturing, construction work, rag-picking, maids, drivers, guards, and other informal professions. The data with the state isn’t actionable, or the data is scattered among different non-profits with no coordination or there isn’t enough data. Digital Dost is an actionable, dynamic database that will help us transfer funds, run upskilling initiatives and get insurance and pension products to migrant workers.

The Creative Fellowship was an effort to bring the artistic community together to sensitize citizens towards the plight of the poor in India. A team of 30 designers from across the country (From NID, CEPT, NIFT, SRISTI, Anant Fellowship, and so on) got together to create content related to dignity in the informal sector. Posters, videos, graffiti, and social media content, were designed on construction workers, maids, safai workers, guards, and their daily struggles. For example, a poster showing how we enjoy at least 150 days of holidays yearly (104 days of weekends off + medical + casual + festive leaves ) and domestic maids get none and so on.

This is a month-long festival encompassing graffiti on informal sector, concerts, performing exhibits on experiencing being a labourer, a social media campaign and other cultural components to sensitize citizens across the country on the trials of being a labourer.

We are looking at changing the existing Building and Construction Workers Cess Act to make it easier for builders to treat labourers as employees than having the government run a separate welfare board.

No federation or union of domestic maids exists in Gujarat. We want to register them,unite them and push for a national legislation on recognizing housework.
